With sentiments such as these, are we to believe that literature has no community of interest, no svmnathv of fcclinff. no identity of ourDose, witli Heligion or its sacred source? The eiror of those who imagine thus, must lio in the low tsti- mntr thnv Wn nlaum! unnn nnlitn literature, and the iudirment thev have formed from the features and spirit it has hitherto assumed, rather than from those of which it is susceptible. God has not, indeed, mado to us an immediate revelation upon the truths of philosophy, the abstrusities of science, or the elegances of art. But litcraturo, rence, and art, m their legitimate design, are surely instruments each ofg them, subordinate tliAiinh ll.n.r tin in the. a.linmn nf Prnvulnni-a In the moral improvement of man; and tho melan- peasant to the ploughman and the philosopher choly fact, that they have long exercised an in- to the learned and the laborer to the infidel and fluence far from their original purpose, is to be the saint. Genius, the gift of God like the discounted for. to a great extent, throueh the no- vino fire of the seers, not less than that solemn elect of scriptural precepts. 1 he liillucnco ot the Uibie unon nolito litcraturo has hitherto been slieht. and vet it is nri-emincntlv a store-house of thought, a treasury of material, and presents that errand desideratum in tho renublic of letters, an ultimate standard of taste. In the beautiful lan- guage of another, " The record of sacred litera- tare is the book of life, spotless and eternal; its penmen are prophets, apostles, and martyrs; its ministering servants aro cherubim anil seraphim, the angel and archangel." If we cast a glance over the history of poetry In Its carllOSt era, mat 01 IIIO ancicm Israelites is the first which arrests the attention. Indeed, wo hazard little in tho assertion, that, as this peculiar people were the eldest of tho nations of antiqui- ty whoso annals have como down to us, in like were never intended as a basis or a model ol lite-manner their expression of Doetical feclinir, and raturo, and that to invito to their perusal as a col- their attempts at poetical arrangement, wcro the earliest. But bo this as it may, Hebrew Pootry is undo- niablv the most ancient which has reached tho ago in which we live; and tho earliest specimen ol versification which all literature can produce, is ble sonir of Lamcch, in the Book of Genesis, When wo consider, too, such poetry as is cun- taincd in the Pentateuch, almost six centuries be- fore the era of Homer; and annals, such as were chronicled by tho Lawgiver, one thousand years before tho pagan Herodotus, it is not difficult to believe, that the Hebrews wero equally the fatli- era of Iliatort and of Song. Tho sacred records closo whero those of classic antiquity begin. 1 he seven books of Moses had been read anil ponder- ed upon more than ten centuries, wucn tho father of Profane History was bom; and tho last of the acred chroniclers, Malaclu the prophot, was his cotemporary. Ages before the author of the Iliad had touched his harp strings upon tho banks of the lllyssus, and bcloro tho remotest period when tho Egyptian Mcmnon had introduced the knowl- edgo of letters into Greece, the prophct-pocls ol Israel had scaled tho hiirhts of Song! This circumstance, wo are lolil, is ot itscll ono of tho most resptondent proofs of tho divine ori- orin nf thn Sorintnron. In everv other nntinn. measured Poetry has ever, by many an ago, pro- ceded the stylo of Prose; but in tho history of Hebrew literature, we witness them at ono and the samo era, composed with skill and beauty equal and unrivaled. What but a draught from that Fount which Mows fast by the oracles of Uod,'- in the sublime language of tho Paradise Lost of their temple. Again, by tho rivers of Baby-could have occasioned this! Ion, (hey sing their country lost their city with in our estiinnto of the character and tho excel- lonco of sacred literature, we mav not. ncrhans resort to a criterion mora impartial, than the utu- versal wclcomo which tho Old Scrititurcs in everv ago, and among ovcry pcoplo, have received. As pricolcss treasure have they been held by the simpio and the wise by tho ignorant and the enlightened by the uncultivated and tho refined by tho Christian, tho Mohammedan, and the Jew. They have gladdened tho peasant in his cottage, and tho monarch upon Ins throne; they have proved a comforter to tho desolate, and a sion of a peculiar people, than tho gill of Provi-balsam to tho broken-hearted; they havo lighted dunce to the race of man. up tho prison-house of tho convict, and havo flung "tho bow of tho covenant over tho couch ol tho dying! Infidels have dwelt with astonishment iipon tho lolly grandeur of their sentiments, and tho sublimity of their stylu; and tho nr.ttor, the philosopher, and tho hard, have quailed deep of their inspiration. Tho venerable Chatham, of KnglandHinrufffii et vtntrabile nomtn loved often to ponder over their sacred pages; ami, with a distino-uished statesman of our own lund, made them his fountain of eloquence, before ho roso 111 tno august arena ol lus country s councils, Barrow, and Locke, and Boyle, and Bacon, and Burko, regarded the old poems of the Bible as the sublimest productions ever traced by the pen of man. Indeed, there can scarce a great mind in the records of literature be named, which owed not a portion of its power to this venerable trea sure-house ol inspiration. " I he Uiuie is tne only work too hard for the teeth of time, and cannot perish but in the general flame, when all things Bhall contess their ashes." 1 nus writes the old English Prose author, Sir Thomas Browne, in his celebrated licligio Medici; and the force of the declaration can but be appreciated. The declaration of Sir William Jones relative to the Scriptures, is too familiar for repetition. Tho immortal Scott regarded them with admiration and wonder, as the celebrated lines in his romance, "The Abbot," " Within this awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries," etc. etc. alone would demonstrate; and tho same verses found upon the fly-leaf of Lord Byron s Biblo, prove that they embodied his sentiments, and were not uncongenial to lus teclings. INot a little of that sublimity which breathes through his productions, was derived directly from this source. A remarkable instance of this, among numerous others which might be pointed out in his poems, is mentioned in Miss Jewsbury's "Letters to the Young. It is found in the opening of that splendid production, the " Odo to Napoleon": " Tis past but yesterday a king, And armed with kings to strive i And now thou art a nameless thing So abject yet alive! Is this the man of thousand thrones, Who strewed the earth with hostile bones? And can he thus survive? Since he, miscalled the Morning Star, Nor man nor fiend hath fallen so far." This may bo traced directly to the prophet Isaiah's Odo on the fall of Sennacherib, tho Napo leon of Babylon: " Ho who smote the people in his wrath with a continual stroke, is persecuted and hindereth. How art thou fallen, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to tin, irrmmrl. wltir-li ilwlut wpaken nations!

" .n .................. The ercat Enirlish dramatist exhibits through- out his productions a familiar acquaintance with tho Scriptures, and tho same may be said of almost every standard author, whether poet or philoso- phcr, historian, romancer, statesman, or divine, who has composed in our language. Ptolemy of Egypt beliovcd his library incomplete without a copy of tho Bible; and Alphonso X. at his doath had read it completely fourteen times. To tho refined and elegant tasto of the infidel, theso writings aro beautiful and sublime. His mind approves them, though his heart feel them not. To him they are the graceful frost-work of a wintry morning, brilliant, but how cold 1 while to the glowing soul of devotion they seem passionately ucar, tnotign tne taste to Bppreciara fZt III IHfinV rPRnHCUl lllfi flame! tO tllfi DrinCfl antl IUQ irmn which suitresses lisen aiiKC to me ignorant anil tne tcarneu, beams lorin irom every page, Tho causo of this admiration for tho sacred writings Dy 1110 prouu nnu tne numuic, mo simpio and the wise, is not difficult of detection. Many have admired them for that excellence which, as literary productions, they most justly claim; and more, for the inspired truths they promulgate That thcro is literary excellence of a distinguish- ea oruer in me uiu ompiures, wiu noi oe con- trovcrtcd; and the position is one which has of lata been advanced, that their cxccllcnco is of unit peculiar ciiiiniuu:r, us iireeiiiuiuiuiy to iiuuu- ly them for a text-book ol literature. 1 o this pro- position tho objection at once arises, and with no inconsidcrablo plausibility, that the Scriptures lection ol orations, and poems, and essays, and antiais, urgraucs mat iiiguiiy, wuicn mcir cnarac- tcr as a mission from Deity lor tho moral govern- ance of his creatures, demands. All this would be true, were the grand object ol their origin lor- gotten in tins minor, though important considera lion. Tho fact, too, is lost sight of, that tho natu- ral, il not inovitamo conscqucnco ol a courso or sacred literature, and of that admiration which every cultivated mind must, upon investigation, grant tho Scriptures, would bo an appreciation of the principles they inculcate. Many would thus, in lime, view them as a rule of conduct, wlig would olhcrwiso remain in ignorance of their character, or regard them with contemptuous in diflVrcnco. Allusion has been made, in theso cursory ro marks upon sacred literature, to tho Poetry of the Hebrews; and ll, in conclusion, we lor a moment dwell upon those peculiarities which dis- linguish it from all other poetry, we shall find the most sinking, apart Irom its peculiar parallelism of versification, to be, that deep traco of locality which is everywhere to bo lound. l ho iiallilcan lulls wero not more clearly rcllccted Irom tho quiet bosom ol their own blue, Dcaulilul lake, than was tho aspect nf their country mirrored in tho nnrtrv of the Jews. Thev loved their nntivn land their own glorious Palestine her green lulls ami gcnllo valleys not with a calm, sub- ducd allcction: it was a wild, iingovnrnablo pas- lion tameless untamed. They tell us of their battles and triumphs, witli Jehovah a namo hal- lowed to Jewish lips as their leader; and the strung harps ring out clear as tho silver clarions out inhabitant "that holy and beautiful houso where their fathers worshincd." siiikinir in flames and their strains nso up sad as tho evening song of Autumn, touchinir as tho wail of a broken heart. In tho g-tlling captivity of a strango and distant land, Jerusalem, the " holy city," is still their theme; and their harps unstrung hang upon the willows. In these poems they give us their cnliro history as a people; yet, local as they aro in do- scription, in allusion, and in style, they havo been welcomed by every ago, and seem less the posses- Tho distinguishing characteristics of Jewish Poetry aro loo numerous now to bo noticed; they aro perhaps too palpable to demand it.

It commences with the world's creation: at a later period it assumes a wild and warlike character: in tho era of David it takes the form of sacred lyrics, in tho magnificent reign ol Solomon, it allium its loflicst elevation) and when all is lost, it is heard in the deep tuues ill propneuc ucnuneiauuu, ur tuu wuu ui lament. Literary News-Letter. PECULIARITIES OF STEELE. Steele, like Goldsmith, was fond of dressing in the utmost point of fashion. Old Richard Nott, the first printer of tho Tatlcr, related that Steele paid 50 per annum to his barber, and never rode out, which ho often did, but in a full-bot tomed dress periwig, which, at that time, cost as much as he paid the barber. There are various and curious records of tho shifts to which Steele had recourse to appeaso his creditors, one of whom was an occasional associate witli him at the tavern one Mat Pineher, a tailor in Cheap-side, who was charmed with Steele's wit and humor; and Steele's partiality for Pineher was considerable, for the tailor wrote long verses, and gave long ciedits for " black cloaks." But verses, how long soever, will have an end, and debts must be sometimes paid. Pineher could get no money from Steele, and Steele ceased to get verses from Pineher, who commenced prosaic com position, and, in the stylo dictatorial, wrote to Steele, reminding him of his "bill for black cloaks had at divers times." Steele at tho time was out of pocket, botli right and left; not a shilling in possession, nor a sixpence in expectation! " Mis fortunes come not singly, but in battalions." 1 he tailor waited on Steele, whose servants were unwilling to admit Pineher into tho study; but a tailor is a man, when put to his last shut, and Pineher resolutely insisted on seeing Steele. A sculllo ensued, which attracted the attention of Addison, who was then with Steele, arranging for tho Tatlers of the week; and on inquiring the cause ot the noise without, Steele said : " It is only Pineher in quest of Growler, Mr. Addison; I bclievo it is my tailor coming to tako moasure ot my ability to pay oil an old score; he is clam orous, aim in trutii noi wuuoui cause; out i gave him an order on Tonson this morning for twenty guineas, which, I am airaid, is unpaid, by Ins re turning so suddenly." By this time, Mr. Pineher lorccd his way into the study, and warmly rebuked Steele for sending him on an April mes sage. " lonson, said he, "will not pay you a penny for a fortnight to come, having already advanced for the next six Tatlers." " Indeed, Pineher, replied Steele, " I am sorry for Ton- son, I am sorry for you, and I am exceedingly sorry lor mysell; but 1 onson owes me more than that sum; however, he is a good ft How, when things take well with tho town. " I wroto you threo times, Mr. Steele, respecting this aflair," said 1'inclicr. " 1 know you did, good Pineh er," rejoinder Steele, " and there aro your let ters unopened. I know the contents of the letters of many of my correspondents from tho mere su perscription; it is a branch of the occult sciences known to nie from my youth upwards 1 Dir. Pineher begged lor ten guineas, then for five, then for three, but he might have begged lorever, lor not a stiver had Steele, who, at last. ,,;: ,i, .' .,,i i,.n,i tX&ZKZ sf vcr Sotmd bo 0 . 1 requested Pineher to get five guineas on them until next week. Addison, who calmly lookci on during tho curious scone, paid Pinchcr's bill getting Steele's acknowledgment and promise to pay ready money lor tho next black cloak. Steele was overcome with Addison s kindness and insisted on having " wine andcako" brought in. J'inchcr was requested to 10m them. In few minutes the whole sccno was changed; and Pineher, who had somo pretensions to literary converse, was happy and proud in this little circle. During this hour of joyous hilarity, Steele said, " well Pineher, is there any thing in this world more wonderful than a poetical tailor"' " Only one," rejoined Pineher. " Declare it, rinchcr; good 1'iiichcr, declare it, replied Steele "A poetical tinker," said the other; " and me-thinks John Ilunyan wrote prose, too, equal to any m our day." " Uivo me your hand, 1'itichcr; you are one of the best fellows within the bills of mortality; hut tho muses are a dangerous family, and your illicit connection with these ladies will bring you into trouhlo," replied Steolo. " They may be cruel parents, rejoined the tailor; " but you, Mr. Steele, assist to starve their children." Addison was greatly pleased with his companions; and said to Tickcll afterwards, that Steele knew better than any man in town whero wit and broad humor wcro planted by nature; and that no man should think himself above being taughtmore by the class beneath, than the class above, him in society. This was a just appreciation of Steele's discrimination. Ho mingled equally in high and low society, and knew his part in cither. Dr. Johnson calls hun "tho most agrecahlo rake that ever trod tho round of indul gence;" but, like many more striking expressions of the doctor, it is not his own. Ilis amnnuesis, Robert Cibbcr's Life of it from transcribed Shiels, the Poets, and Libber borrowed it from Shak- speare. Few readers know that some of tho best passages in Johnson's Lives of tho Poets were cither transcribed by Shiels from other works, or were Ai own suggestions to the doctor. INTERCOMMUNICATION. It is impossible for an American to look abroad over his native land, and not feel an honest pride whilst ho compares its present condition, as ro gards facilities of intercommunication, with that which it presented twenty or thirty years since. 1'crsons have not yet passed tho meridian ol lilc who cun remember tho wearisome journeys be tween our Atlantic cities, not to mention the dread with which a trip to tho interior was regarded. 1 0 pass between Philadelphia and llalumoro in winter, and not to bo on the road more than two days, was looked upon as great good fortune, whilst tho intercourse botween I'liilutlclphia and New-York was oven moro dilhcult and laborious Well do we recollect when the first post-coach carrying six insido passengers, was placed upon tho rout between this city and Washington, at a I chargo of fivo dollars, leaving at eight in the morning, and slopping to dine on tho road. At tho timo to which wo refer, it was as much as a traveler's comfort was worllt to journey up- on any but tho few rough turnpikes which whero then in existence, and even did his good fortune make it his lot to pass along tho best of these highways, tho battered condition of lus limbs at- 1 stcd for a fortnight afterwards tho jolting he had undergone. At present, how nro manors altered Tho wayfarer leaves tho scat of the National Gov ernment at six a. m. 1 is wluskod along at a prod gious speed in two hours and a quarter to Haiti-more; thcro ho lakes another lino of vehicles. reaches Philadelphia without fatigue, in lime for a lato dinner; or, should his business or pleasure rwituro 11, nnds himscii snug 111 his hotel at Now York at midnight of the samo day. Nor is he obliged to undergo the slightest privation as regards his meals in the mean while. lie takes breakfast at Baltimore; dines at Wilmington, or on board a Delaware steamer at seasonable hours; finds his cup of hot coffee awaiting his arrival at New-Brunswick; and, should he be fond of a sub- tantial supper, he may take it at his ease be fore retiring to bed in New-York. Similar facilities attend an extension of a journey to the South, or the East, the North, or the West. There are soma who will talk of the romance of tray- ling, and expatiate with delight on tho socia bility of an old-fashioned stage-coach; but we confess that, to us, the delights of upsets and sleepless nights, spent in dragging through mud and mire, have nothing in them very captivating. Sucn, then, are the ellects ot canals and rail roads, steamboats and McAdamizcd turnpikes; such are the products ot internal improvements. It is not long since wo heard a person regrelting the ruin, caused by throwing coachmen out of cm-ploy, and causing taverns by the way-side to fall into decay tor want of patronage. In descanting upon these grievous encroachments, the party to wnom wo reler seemed to lorget that other occu pations were open to the classes of tho people SO pitied; and that horses might be employed - quite as benefichlly in tilling the earth as in pul- ; ling travelers over bad roads, whilst the worthies, whose hours had been devoted to lounging in at tendance on bar-rooms, might earn just as good a livelihood in somo mechanical or agricultural em ployment. Ior aro we among those who think that these facilities aro mischievous, by enabling people to travel on without stopping a day or two for better roads or spending their precious time in the hotels o' the cities through which thev mav Pass. It IS true, that a few dollars mav be lost to this or Uia. city in oneway, but they . . 3 .... ,J win oe more man naue up oy ine multitudes of persons leaving some to travel, merely because traveling has rowadays no annoyances. Wliero eight or tcnlormcrly traveled, eighty or a hundred are now induced to do so; and we question very muck whether ten out of evoiy hundred are not quite as profitable, as the whole that used to be going from point to point. 1 no moral and political effects attending these facilities aro particularly worthy of notice. Sectional feelings aro lessened by every yard of railroad or canal constructed, and old distinctions, such as Southcrnor and Northern man, are fast ! falling into disuse. Tho citizen of Maine ot i New-Hampshire, who is enabled to sec the lovely ' savannas of the South, soon forgets the long-cherished distinction of " Yankee," whilo tin Southerner loses sight of early antipathies by be- - . , 1 1 . .1 1 . it 1 , ing introduced to tho hearty, well-ordered hospi talities of the North, and is led to think that, aftel all, the only distinctive appellation that should be tolerated is the proud name of Jlmencan. I M Western man, who has been taught to scoff a the bargaining propensities of his Northern brethren, when he becomes accustomed to them, is ready to confess that thrift and industry are, in fact, the only true elements to constitute tho good citizen. Let us, then, join heart and hand in pressing forward a system fraught with such universal good effects; and when a railroad or a canal is demanded by public convenience, let nothing be said about its being calculated to carry trade elsewhere, under the assurance that, in proportion as business is extended everywhere, so is every portion of the Union benefited. When wo hear that a railroad will enablt people to go to New-York or to Philadelphia, and thus deprive 11s of a puttiul benefit, let us sear in mind that the action is reciprocal, and that the same intercommunication will bringfrom those cities to us advantages which, wilt out them, must have remained forever bcytnd our reach.

Thn test. then, of its ex- cellcnce, should ever bo, tho extent to which it has honored find and imnroved the human race. With sentiments such as these, are we to believe that literature has no community of interest, no svmnathv of fcclinff. no identity of ourDose, witli Heligion or its sacred source? The eiror of those who imagine thus, must lio in the low tsti- mntr thnv Wn nlaum! unnn nnlitn literature, and the iudirment thev have formed from the features and spirit it has hitherto assumed, rather than from those of which it is susceptible. God has not, indeed, mado to us an immediate revelation upon the truths of philosophy, the abstrusities of science, or the elegances of art. But litcraturo, rence, and art, m their legitimate design, are surely instruments each ofg them, subordinate tliAiinh ll.n.r tin in the. a.linmn nf Prnvulnni-a In the moral improvement of man; and tho melan- peasant to the ploughman and the philosopher choly fact, that they have long exercised an in- to the learned and the laborer to the infidel and fluence far from their original purpose, is to be the saint. Genius, the gift of God like the discounted for. to a great extent, throueh the no- vino fire of the seers, not less than that solemn elect of scriptural precepts. 1 he liillucnco ot the Uibie unon nolito litcraturo has hitherto been slieht. and vet it is nri-emincntlv a store-house of thought, a treasury of material, and presents that errand desideratum in tho renublic of letters, an ultimate standard of taste. In the beautiful lan- guage of another, " The record of sacred litera- tare is the book of life, spotless and eternal; its penmen are prophets, apostles, and martyrs; its ministering servants aro cherubim anil seraphim, the angel and archangel." If we cast a glance over the history of poetry In Its carllOSt era, mat 01 IIIO ancicm Israelites is the first which arrests the attention. Indeed, wo hazard little in tho assertion, that, as this peculiar people were the eldest of tho nations of antiqui- ty whoso annals have como down to us, in like were never intended as a basis or a model ol lite-manner their expression of Doetical feclinir, and raturo, and that to invito to their perusal as a col- their attempts at poetical arrangement, wcro the earliest. But bo this as it may, Hebrew Pootry is undo- niablv the most ancient which has reached tho ago in which we live; and tho earliest specimen ol versification which all literature can produce, is ble sonir of Lamcch, in the Book of Genesis, When wo consider, too, such poetry as is cun- taincd in the Pentateuch, almost six centuries be- fore the era of Homer; and annals, such as were chronicled by tho Lawgiver, one thousand years before tho pagan Herodotus, it is not difficult to believe, that the Hebrews wero equally the fatli- era of Iliatort and of Song. Tho sacred records closo whero those of classic antiquity begin. 1 he seven books of Moses had been read anil ponder- ed upon more than ten centuries, wucn tho father of Profane History was bom; and tho last of the acred chroniclers, Malaclu the prophot, was his cotemporary. Ages before the author of the Iliad had touched his harp strings upon tho banks of the lllyssus, and bcloro tho remotest period when tho Egyptian Mcmnon had introduced the knowl- edgo of letters into Greece, the prophct-pocls ol Israel had scaled tho hiirhts of Song! This circumstance, wo are lolil, is ot itscll ono of tho most resptondent proofs of tho divine ori- orin nf thn Sorintnron. In everv other nntinn. measured Poetry has ever, by many an ago, pro- ceded the stylo of Prose; but in tho history of Hebrew literature, we witness them at ono and the samo era, composed with skill and beauty equal and unrivaled. What but a draught from that Fount which Mows fast by the oracles of Uod,'- in the sublime language of tho Paradise Lost of their temple. Again, by tho rivers of Baby-could have occasioned this! Ion, (hey sing their country lost their city with in our estiinnto of the character and tho excel- lonco of sacred literature, we mav not. ncrhans resort to a criterion mora impartial, than the utu- versal wclcomo which tho Old Scrititurcs in everv ago, and among ovcry pcoplo, have received. As pricolcss treasure have they been held by the simpio and the wise by tho ignorant and the enlightened by the uncultivated and tho refined by tho Christian, tho Mohammedan, and the Jew. They have gladdened tho peasant in his cottage, and tho monarch upon Ins throne; they have proved a comforter to tho desolate, and a sion of a peculiar people, than tho gill of Provi-balsam to tho broken-hearted; they havo lighted dunce to the race of man. up tho prison-house of tho convict, and havo flung "tho bow of tho covenant over tho couch ol tho dying! Infidels have dwelt with astonishment iipon tho lolly grandeur of their sentiments, and tho sublimity of their stylu; and tho nr.ttor, the philosopher, and tho hard, have quailed deep of their inspiration. Tho venerable Chatham, of KnglandHinrufffii et vtntrabile nomtn loved often to ponder over their sacred pages; ami, with a distino-uished statesman of our own lund, made them his fountain of eloquence, before ho roso 111 tno august arena ol lus country s councils, Barrow, and Locke, and Boyle, and Bacon, and Burko, regarded the old poems of the Bible as the sublimest productions ever traced by the pen of man. Indeed, there can scarce a great mind in the records of literature be named, which owed not a portion of its power to this venerable trea sure-house ol inspiration. " I he Uiuie is tne only work too hard for the teeth of time, and cannot perish but in the general flame, when all things Bhall contess their ashes." 1 nus writes the old English Prose author, Sir Thomas Browne, in his celebrated licligio Medici; and the force of the declaration can but be appreciated. The declaration of Sir William Jones relative to the Scriptures, is too familiar for repetition. Tho immortal Scott regarded them with admiration and wonder, as the celebrated lines in his romance, "The Abbot," " Within this awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries," etc. etc. alone would demonstrate; and tho same verses found upon the fly-leaf of Lord Byron s Biblo, prove that they embodied his sentiments, and were not uncongenial to lus teclings. INot a little of that sublimity which breathes through his productions, was derived directly from this source. A remarkable instance of this, among numerous others which might be pointed out in his poems, is mentioned in Miss Jewsbury's "Letters to the Young. It is found in the opening of that splendid production, the " Odo to Napoleon": " Tis past but yesterday a king, And armed with kings to strive i And now thou art a nameless thing So abject yet alive! Is this the man of thousand thrones, Who strewed the earth with hostile bones? And can he thus survive? Since he, miscalled the Morning Star, Nor man nor fiend hath fallen so far." This may bo traced directly to the prophet Isaiah's Odo on the fall of Sennacherib, tho Napo leon of Babylon: " Ho who smote the people in his wrath with a continual stroke, is persecuted and hindereth. How art thou fallen, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to tin, irrmmrl. wltir-li ilwlut wpaken nations! Thnv " - 6---..-f j that seo thee narrowly look upon thco, and con- sider thee, saying, ' Is this tho man that made the earth to tremble that did shake kingdoms it,! ll.n ,.,nrl,l an a u.iMnrnnaa?' " .n .................. The ercat Enirlish dramatist exhibits through- out his productions a familiar acquaintance with tho Scriptures, and tho same may be said of almost every standard author, whether poet or philoso- phcr, historian, romancer, statesman, or divine, who has composed in our language. Ptolemy of Egypt beliovcd his library incomplete without a copy of tho Bible; and Alphonso X. at his doath had read it completely fourteen times. To tho refined and elegant tasto of the infidel, theso writings aro beautiful and sublime. His mind approves them, though his heart feel them not. To him they are the graceful frost-work of a wintry morning, brilliant, but how cold 1 while to the glowing soul of devotion they seem passionately ucar, tnotign tne taste to Bppreciara fZt III IHfinV rPRnHCUl lllfi flame! tO tllfi DrinCfl antl IUQ irmn which suitresses lisen aiiKC to me ignorant anil tne tcarneu, beams lorin irom every page, Tho causo of this admiration for tho sacred writings Dy 1110 prouu nnu tne numuic, mo simpio and the wise, is not difficult of detection. Many have admired them for that excellence which, as literary productions, they most justly claim; and more, for the inspired truths they promulgate That thcro is literary excellence of a distinguish- ea oruer in me uiu ompiures, wiu noi oe con- trovcrtcd; and the position is one which has of lata been advanced, that their cxccllcnco is of unit peculiar ciiiiniuu:r, us iireeiiiuiuiuiy to iiuuu- ly them for a text-book ol literature. 1 o this pro- position tho objection at once arises, and with no inconsidcrablo plausibility, that the Scriptures lection ol orations, and poems, and essays, and antiais, urgraucs mat iiiguiiy, wuicn mcir cnarac- tcr as a mission from Deity lor tho moral govern- ance of his creatures, demands. All this would be true, were the grand object ol their origin lor- gotten in tins minor, though important considera lion. Tho fact, too, is lost sight of, that tho natu- ral, il not inovitamo conscqucnco ol a courso or sacred literature, and of that admiration which every cultivated mind must, upon investigation, grant tho Scriptures, would bo an appreciation of the principles they inculcate. Many would thus, in lime, view them as a rule of conduct, wlig would olhcrwiso remain in ignorance of their character, or regard them with contemptuous in diflVrcnco. Allusion has been made, in theso cursory ro marks upon sacred literature, to tho Poetry of the Hebrews; and ll, in conclusion, we lor a moment dwell upon those peculiarities which dis- linguish it from all other poetry, we shall find the most sinking, apart Irom its peculiar parallelism of versification, to be, that deep traco of locality which is everywhere to bo lound. l ho iiallilcan lulls wero not more clearly rcllccted Irom tho quiet bosom ol their own blue, Dcaulilul lake, than was tho aspect nf their country mirrored in tho nnrtrv of the Jews. Thev loved their nntivn land their own glorious Palestine her green lulls ami gcnllo valleys not with a calm, sub- ducd allcction: it was a wild, iingovnrnablo pas- lion tameless untamed. They tell us of their battles and triumphs, witli Jehovah a namo hal- lowed to Jewish lips as their leader; and the strung harps ring out clear as tho silver clarions out inhabitant "that holy and beautiful houso where their fathers worshincd." siiikinir in flames and their strains nso up sad as tho evening song of Autumn, touchinir as tho wail of a broken heart. In tho g-tlling captivity of a strango and distant land, Jerusalem, the " holy city," is still their theme; and their harps unstrung hang upon the willows. In these poems they give us their cnliro history as a people; yet, local as they aro in do- scription, in allusion, and in style, they havo been welcomed by every ago, and seem less the posses- Tho distinguishing characteristics of Jewish Poetry aro loo numerous now to bo noticed; they aro perhaps too palpable to demand it. Its cx- clusively religious character, its peculiar strue- lure, its ancient date, its mysterious sublimity, and tho solemn shudtts orerywhero flung over it by tho lofty themo it professes, aro features promt- nenlly distinctive. It commences with the world's creation: at a later period it assumes a wild and warlike character: in tho era of David it takes the form of sacred lyrics, in tho magnificent reign ol Solomon, it allium its loflicst elevation) and when all is lost, it is heard in the deep tuues ill propneuc ucnuneiauuu, ur tuu wuu ui lament. Literary News-Letter. PECULIARITIES OF STEELE. Steele, like Goldsmith, was fond of dressing in the utmost point of fashion. Old Richard Nott, the first printer of tho Tatlcr, related that Steele paid 50 per annum to his barber, and never rode out, which ho often did, but in a full-bot tomed dress periwig, which, at that time, cost as much as he paid the barber. There are various and curious records of tho shifts to which Steele had recourse to appeaso his creditors, one of whom was an occasional associate witli him at the tavern one Mat Pineher, a tailor in Cheap-side, who was charmed with Steele's wit and humor; and Steele's partiality for Pineher was considerable, for the tailor wrote long verses, and gave long ciedits for " black cloaks." But verses, how long soever, will have an end, and debts must be sometimes paid. Pineher could get no money from Steele, and Steele ceased to get verses from Pineher, who commenced prosaic com position, and, in the stylo dictatorial, wrote to Steele, reminding him of his "bill for black cloaks had at divers times." Steele at tho time was out of pocket, botli right and left; not a shilling in possession, nor a sixpence in expectation! " Mis fortunes come not singly, but in battalions." 1 he tailor waited on Steele, whose servants were unwilling to admit Pineher into tho study; but a tailor is a man, when put to his last shut, and Pineher resolutely insisted on seeing Steele. A sculllo ensued, which attracted the attention of Addison, who was then with Steele, arranging for tho Tatlers of the week; and on inquiring the cause ot the noise without, Steele said : " It is only Pineher in quest of Growler, Mr. Addison; I bclievo it is my tailor coming to tako moasure ot my ability to pay oil an old score; he is clam orous, aim in trutii noi wuuoui cause; out i gave him an order on Tonson this morning for twenty guineas, which, I am airaid, is unpaid, by Ins re turning so suddenly." By this time, Mr. Pineher lorccd his way into the study, and warmly rebuked Steele for sending him on an April mes sage. " lonson, said he, "will not pay you a penny for a fortnight to come, having already advanced for the next six Tatlers." " Indeed, Pineher, replied Steele, " I am sorry for Ton- son, I am sorry for you, and I am exceedingly sorry lor mysell; but 1 onson owes me more than that sum; however, he is a good ft How, when things take well with tho town. " I wroto you threo times, Mr. Steele, respecting this aflair," said 1'inclicr. " 1 know you did, good Pineh er," rejoinder Steele, " and there aro your let ters unopened. I know the contents of the letters of many of my correspondents from tho mere su perscription; it is a branch of the occult sciences known to nie from my youth upwards 1 Dir. Pineher begged lor ten guineas, then for five, then for three, but he might have begged lorever, lor not a stiver had Steele, who, at last. ,,;: ,i, .' .,,i i,.n,i tX&ZKZ sf vcr Sotmd bo 0 . 1 requested Pineher to get five guineas on them until next week. Addison, who calmly lookci on during tho curious scone, paid Pinchcr's bill getting Steele's acknowledgment and promise to pay ready money lor tho next black cloak. Steele was overcome with Addison s kindness and insisted on having " wine andcako" brought in. J'inchcr was requested to 10m them. In few minutes the whole sccno was changed; and Pineher, who had somo pretensions to literary converse, was happy and proud in this little circle. During this hour of joyous hilarity, Steele said, " well Pineher, is there any thing in this world more wonderful than a poetical tailor"' " Only one," rejoined Pineher. " Declare it, rinchcr; good 1'iiichcr, declare it, replied Steele "A poetical tinker," said the other; " and me-thinks John Ilunyan wrote prose, too, equal to any m our day." " Uivo me your hand, 1'itichcr; you are one of the best fellows within the bills of mortality; hut tho muses are a dangerous family, and your illicit connection with these ladies will bring you into trouhlo," replied Steolo. " They may be cruel parents, rejoined the tailor; " but you, Mr. Steele, assist to starve their children." Addison was greatly pleased with his companions; and said to Tickcll afterwards, that Steele knew better than any man in town whero wit and broad humor wcro planted by nature; and that no man should think himself above being taughtmore by the class beneath, than the class above, him in society. This was a just appreciation of Steele's discrimination. Ho mingled equally in high and low society, and knew his part in cither. Dr. Johnson calls hun "tho most agrecahlo rake that ever trod tho round of indul gence;" but, like many more striking expressions of the doctor, it is not his own. Ilis amnnuesis, Robert Cibbcr's Life of it from transcribed Shiels, the Poets, and Libber borrowed it from Shak- speare. Few readers know that some of tho best passages in Johnson's Lives of tho Poets were cither transcribed by Shiels from other works, or were Ai own suggestions to the doctor. INTERCOMMUNICATION. It is impossible for an American to look abroad over his native land, and not feel an honest pride whilst ho compares its present condition, as ro gards facilities of intercommunication, with that which it presented twenty or thirty years since. 1'crsons have not yet passed tho meridian ol lilc who cun remember tho wearisome journeys be tween our Atlantic cities, not to mention the dread with which a trip to tho interior was regarded. 1 0 pass between Philadelphia and llalumoro in winter, and not to bo on the road more than two days, was looked upon as great good fortune, whilst tho intercourse botween I'liilutlclphia and New-York was oven moro dilhcult and laborious Well do we recollect when the first post-coach carrying six insido passengers, was placed upon tho rout between this city and Washington, at a I chargo of fivo dollars, leaving at eight in the morning, and slopping to dine on tho road. At tho timo to which wo refer, it was as much as a traveler's comfort was worllt to journey up- on any but tho few rough turnpikes which whero then in existence, and even did his good fortune make it his lot to pass along tho best of these highways, tho battered condition of lus limbs at- 1 stcd for a fortnight afterwards tho jolting he had undergone. At present, how nro manors altered Tho wayfarer leaves tho scat of the National Gov ernment at six a. m. 1 is wluskod along at a prod gious speed in two hours and a quarter to Haiti-more; thcro ho lakes another lino of vehicles. reaches Philadelphia without fatigue, in lime for a lato dinner; or, should his business or pleasure rwituro 11, nnds himscii snug 111 his hotel at Now York at midnight of the samo day. Nor is he obliged to undergo the slightest privation as regards his meals in the mean while. lie takes breakfast at Baltimore; dines at Wilmington, or on board a Delaware steamer at seasonable hours; finds his cup of hot coffee awaiting his arrival at New-Brunswick; and, should he be fond of a sub- tantial supper, he may take it at his ease be fore retiring to bed in New-York. Similar facilities attend an extension of a journey to the South, or the East, the North, or the West. There are soma who will talk of the romance of tray- ling, and expatiate with delight on tho socia bility of an old-fashioned stage-coach; but we confess that, to us, the delights of upsets and sleepless nights, spent in dragging through mud and mire, have nothing in them very captivating. Sucn, then, are the ellects ot canals and rail roads, steamboats and McAdamizcd turnpikes; such are the products ot internal improvements. It is not long since wo heard a person regrelting the ruin, caused by throwing coachmen out of cm-ploy, and causing taverns by the way-side to fall into decay tor want of patronage. In descanting upon these grievous encroachments, the party to wnom wo reler seemed to lorget that other occu pations were open to the classes of tho people SO pitied; and that horses might be employed - quite as benefichlly in tilling the earth as in pul- ; ling travelers over bad roads, whilst the worthies, whose hours had been devoted to lounging in at tendance on bar-rooms, might earn just as good a livelihood in somo mechanical or agricultural em ployment. Ior aro we among those who think that these facilities aro mischievous, by enabling people to travel on without stopping a day or two for better roads or spending their precious time in the hotels o' the cities through which thev mav Pass. It IS true, that a few dollars mav be lost to this or Uia. city in oneway, but they . . 3 .... ,J win oe more man naue up oy ine multitudes of persons leaving some to travel, merely because traveling has rowadays no annoyances. Wliero eight or tcnlormcrly traveled, eighty or a hundred are now induced to do so; and we question very muck whether ten out of evoiy hundred are not quite as profitable, as the whole that used to be going from point to point. 1 no moral and political effects attending these facilities aro particularly worthy of notice. Sectional feelings aro lessened by every yard of railroad or canal constructed, and old distinctions, such as Southcrnor and Northern man, are fast ! falling into disuse. Tho citizen of Maine ot i New-Hampshire, who is enabled to sec the lovely ' savannas of the South, soon forgets the long-cherished distinction of " Yankee," whilo tin Southerner loses sight of early antipathies by be- - . , 1 1 . .1 1 . it 1 , ing introduced to tho hearty, well-ordered hospi talities of the North, and is led to think that, aftel all, the only distinctive appellation that should be tolerated is the proud name of Jlmencan. I M Western man, who has been taught to scoff a the bargaining propensities of his Northern brethren, when he becomes accustomed to them, is ready to confess that thrift and industry are, in fact, the only true elements to constitute tho good citizen. Let us, then, join heart and hand in pressing forward a system fraught with such universal good effects; and when a railroad or a canal is demanded by public convenience, let nothing be said about its being calculated to carry trade elsewhere, under the assurance that, in proportion as business is extended everywhere, so is every portion of the Union benefited. When wo hear that a railroad will enablt people to go to New-York or to Philadelphia, and thus deprive 11s of a puttiul benefit, let us sear in mind that the action is reciprocal, and that the same intercommunication will bringfrom those cities to us advantages which, wilt out them, must have remained forever bcytnd our reach.
